I saw this slogan in a book by Dennis Littky
This is a list of videos that show tips for scoring higher on the SAT.

The best way to study vocabulary is the way that you find comfortable.

I found that using "kitchen words" works for me with a PARTNER

the partner tells me stories about new words.

Kitchen SAT Words on Youtube


Visit TED.com and just become smarter... before you
go to university.    Make yourself more interesting
and full of topics that an educated person knows about.

This system worked for me.   I took the PSAT and got the equivalent of 570 in math and then used this method and scored 800 the next year.
